Overview
Valerie, a Czechoslovakian teenager living with her grandmother, is blossoming into womanhood, but that transformation proves secondary to the effects she experiences when she puts on a pair of magic earrings. Now seeing the world around her in a different light, Valerie must endure her sexual awakening while attempting to discern reality from fantasy as she encounters lecherous priest Gracian, a vampire-like stranger and otherworldly carnival folk.

Viewing Notes
Emily’s last programming night in her Czech film series for TRR-TV, and a great one at that. I should just buy the Criterion release. It’s just so weird and delightful for being so wired.
